PORTABLE PUMP 80C.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 326,146, datedSeptember 15, 1885'. l

Application filed June 12, 1885. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, RICHARD PHILLIPS, o Nacogdoches, in the county ofNacogdoches and State of Texas, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Portable Pumps and Means for Securing the same toVessels, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates particularly to that class of small pumps adaptedfor attachment to small vessels containing oil, water, or any otherliquid.

The invention consists in certain details of construction and meanswhereby the pump can be readily and securely attached to the vessel fromwhich the liquid is to be pumped, the means for securing the pump to thevessel being also adapted to be used in connecting a handle with thevessel, or in providing a handle for a vessel which is without one, allas will be hereinafter particularly described, and pointed out in theclaims.

In the accompanying drawings, in the different figures of which likeparts are designated by like letters of reference, Figure l is aperspective view of an ordinary oil-can fitted with my improvements.Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the pump with its trayremoved from thecan. Fig. 3 is a vertical longitudinal section. Fig. 4 shows how the topof an ordinary oil-can is treated to receive my pump. Fig. 5 is aperspective view showing the oilspout removed and a section of a hosewith nozzle for use as a fire-extinguisher applied to the pump-outlet.Fig. 6 is a detail showing my device adapted as a handle for a vessel.

The letter A designates the can-body or vessel, which, although shown ofright parallelopiped form, may be of any suitable shape or slze.

B represents a pump of ordinary construction and adapted for thepurpose. Near the upper end of the pumps cylinder is secured a tray, 0,having its edge bounded by flange c, to prevent the overflow of liquid.The tray is made with an opening covered with straining material d.Suitable pins, e, are fitted on the. under side of the tray for apurpose to appear hereinafter.

When it is desired to apply the pump to an of the pump-cylinder, is cutin the top of the can, as clearly seen in Fig. 4. Two small holes, 9,are also made for the passage of the pins e to prevent horizontalmovement of the tray upon said can.

As a further means for securing the tray and pump to the vessel, I havedevised the following: A band, D, long enough to pass beneath the vesseland up the sides beyond the edge of the tray, is provided with a numberof holes, a, at its ends. A grooved or folded strip, E, is made with aslot, b, at its middle portion, and is'provided at its side with aspring-arm, 0, having the hook or bent end 0 When the parts are thusconstructed, the band is placed about the vessel so that its end willproject above the edges of the tray. The grooved strips are slipped downupon the ends of the band, permitting them to pass through the slots 1),so that the grooves fit upon the opposite flanges of the tray. The bentend 0 of the spring-arm will then project into one ofthe holes a, whichwill prevent the upward movement of the tray with its pump, all as willbe clearly understood from Fig. 1.

It is desirable to secure an ordinary bail or handle, F, to the ends ofthe band D to form a convenient means whereby the vessel may be carriedfrom place to place.

The means I have just described for clamping the tray in place will befound admirably adapted for use in connection with vessels which are notprovided with handles, and, as shown in Fig. 6, can be applied to anyordinary vessel.

The spout G is made removable from the outlet h, so that the hose ortube H shown in Fig. 5 may be substituted when the pump is to be used asa fire-extinguisher or for some similar purpose.

I may in some instances use a block or rest, I, having a groove, z, intowhich the lower edge or flange of the vessel may project. This block hasa projecting edge, I, upon which the foot may be held while operatingthe pump to steady the apparatus.

What I claim as 'my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-

1. The combination, with the pump, of the,

tray secured near the upper end of the cylinoil-can, a suitable opening,f, forthe-passage der thereof, said tray having an opening in its bottomand holding-pins on its under side, substantially as described.

2. The combination, with a vessel, of the band passing beneath the sameand extending up the sides and above the edge thereof, grooved or foldedstrips E to engage the edge of said vessel, and means for securing saidstrips to the ends of said band, substantially as described.

3. The combination, with a vessel, of the band passing beneath the sameand extending up the sides and beyond the edge thereof, the groovedstrips E, engaging the edges of the vessel, means for securing the sameto the band, and a bail secured to the projecting ends of said band, asset forth.

4. The combination, with the band for ex- I tending around a vesselsubstantially as de- RICHARD PHILLIPS.
